Batman: Arkham City Gets Even Grittier

The new Joker trailer shows off an even grittier side of Gotham in Batman: Arkham City. After watching it, I couldn’t help but reminisce about Heath Ledger’s performance as the Joker in The Dark Knight, wishing he was still around to be in The Dark Knight Rises.

This new trailer shows off a lot of the gameplay and story sequences you will see in Arkham City.

Final Fantasy XIII-2 Release Date Announced

Diablo III will release in early 2012, Blizzard has confirmed.

iDate: Bringing the Love in Casual Gaming

Last year in iDate, two players became so popular for being the 1st female and 1st male to reached Level 50. These players are ~EXO~Yuna<3HugS and ~EXO~VCM~Sheen*, noticed that they are from the same clan, and that makes Exoduz Family clan are so proud of them.

Just this August 25, 2011, iDate increased the level cap to 60. After a week, few players reached level 51st right away. But the big question is “who will be the 1st female and male players to reach Level 60?”

Truly iDate is an addicting game, one of the best stress reliever. iDate is very unique because of the easy game play, cool graphics, k-pop songs. This is a game where you can express yourself by dressing up your character that virtually represent yourself inside the game. It is also different from others in a way that it reaches out to the players and helps them enhance their social interaction and gives them chances to meet and befriend people around the Philippines.  Not only that! This game is for the huge age range of players, amazingly a fun game for the young and young at heart.

DC Universe Online Going Free-To-Play

DC Universe Online's long-rumored free-to-play model has finally arrived, splitting up the MMO's payment models and accessibility between three increasingly priced tiers. "Free" players will have basic access and pay á la carte for some new content and features, "Premium" players will have slightly more access and options and "Legendary" players will pay $15 a month for what's essentially an all-you-can-play buffet of what the game's got to offer. If you already shelled out for DCUO on PC or PlayStation 3 any time between its January launch and the upcoming free-to-play switch, Sony says existing accounts with active paid subscriptions will be granted Legendary Access.

The game is titled Genso Suikoden: The Woven Web of a Century. The game is “a new story about a hundred worlds, a hundred years later”. Wanna see the trailer? click here or just clicky play the video below.

Review: Dragon Nest SEA

One of the most prevalent trappings of fantasy MMOs is that several classes and archetypes tend to be the same across every game. As far as classes go, it’s always made up of your Warrior/Fighter, Cleric/Priest, Assassin/Rouge, Mage/Wizard and so on, with all these classes forming the legendary “Holy Trinity” of a MMO party: The Tank, the Healer and the DPS. Occasionally, games come along that continue to be fun despite using a familiar template, and even in its open-beta phase, Dragon Nest proves it can feel familiar yet fun at the same time.

Goodbye Dragonica PH, Hello Dragonica SEA

After only a year since its commercial launch, Dragonica PH bids farewell.

If you ever come across Dragonica PH’s website, all the other content has been blocked out/hidden/restricted except for one thing: a painstakingly-long announcement that might not come as a shock to anyone. I figured that after Dragonica KR's early exit, the local server would follow suit.

Below is what I call their formal goodbye without actually answering any question/issue.

Guide: Cabal Maquinas Outpost

This is another long overdue dungeon guide for Cabal Online's recently added dungeon, Maquinas Outpost. For those who have read the article and watched the Cabal EU's dungeon run, it has been said that this is just as tough as Forgotten Temple B2F.

I'd say it all depends on your party and piloting skills (like a pack of level 170+). NO BOTS! Don't brag if you're using bot!

Review: Deus Ex: Human Revolution

Deus Ex: Human Revolution is a great action RPG that may fall slightly short of the series lofty bar, but still provides plenty of thoughtful thrills.

It's 2027 and humanity is at a turning point. Mechanical augmentations have become de rigeur the world over. Some see augs as the next step in evolution, while others denounce them as dangerous, contaminating the purity of humanity. This theme permeates Human Revolution, but keeps the debate sufficiently grey. There's no right or wrong, but everyone has their own viewpoint across the entire strata of society. Be it the politicians and businessmen in their ivory towers, or the working girls and gang members that patrol the streets.

For the S, the two key features are set to be a built in remote-control that can be used with any infra-red devices, including TVs and hifis that are not made by Sony, and the ability to use the tablet to direct digital media, such as music or films, from anywhere on the user’s network to any TV or hifi that can play it.
